Lions EXP, available on iOS and Android platforms, uses 360-degree video to let fans use virtual reality video to join the team in the dressing room and experience what the players (and […]

On the most superficial level, the decision to bring Ricky Foley back was fairly straightforward for Wally Buono and the B.C. Lions. Foley, the Most Outstanding Canadian in 2009, might not be the force he once was but, at 35, he can still fill a number of roles with the Lions. As a rush end, […]

Travis Lulay is far removed from statement games. However, with a receiving corps that rivals the best in franchise history — including the highly-anticipated debut of speedster Chris Williams in Saturday’s clash with the Saskatchewan Roughriders at B.C. Place — and the possible return of Jonathan Jennings from a bruised shoulder next weekend in Regina, […]

It doesn’t matter the sport, methods for determining which players are better than others in a draft format never amounted to a perfect science. Some highly touted prospects selected with the hopes they will soon have the desired positive, long-lasting impact on their new clubs never match the lofty expectations. Others, far further down the […]

While the Edmonton Eskimos’ roster was suffering a core meltdown, the B.C. Lions were busy self-destructing Friday night. But while the Esks managed to contain the damage, the Leos couldn’t help but get in their own way, falling 37-26 at Commonwealth Stadium, and dropping to 4-2 — with both losses coming at the hands of […]

By Shane Jones EDMONTON — Mike Reilly ran in a pair of touchdowns and passed for two more as the Edmonton Eskimos took sole possession of first place in the Canadian Football League with a 37-26 victory over the B.C. Lions on Friday. The Eskimos remained the only undefeated team in the league, improving their […]

SURREY, B.C. — Ronnie Yell dropped into coverage, read the play and was stunned by what unfolded in front of him. With roughly 90 seconds left on the clock and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers set up at their own 32-yard line in a 42-42 tie, the B.C. Lions defensive back faked like he was going […]

The B.C. Lions have lost once in five Canadian Football League games. Their receiving unit is a big reason. It’s deep, dangerous, balanced and really good. It also has the potential to get really awkward in the near future. Just put yourself in coach Wally Buono’s shoes for a moment. Imagine sitting down with a […]

The news about Jonathon Jennings’ wounded shoulder probably couldn’t be much better for the B.C. Lions. After an MRI, the Leos’ star pivot appears to be in clear. Jennings told reporters Monday at the team’s training facility in Surrey that his range of motion was already better than a day before. Head coach Wally Buono […]

HAMILTON — Travis Lulay’s evening did not go exactly as planned. Lulay came off the bench to lead the B.C. Lions to a 41-26 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Saturday. The back-up quarterback was loose on the sidelines at the start of the game, when suddenly starter Jonathon Jennings was out with a suspected […]

Coach Wally Buono said Tuesday that the B.C. Lions were going to have a make a decision on the kicking situation in the “near future.” That came Wednesday. The Lions confirmed Wednesday afternoon that they had released Swayze Waters, 30. That means that the field goal, punting and kickoff chores go to Ty Long, 24. […]

Wally Buono, you sense, isn’t big on corporate messaging or branding strategies or any of the other blah, blah of modern communications, but, in the run-up to his team’s season-opener, the old Lion drilled home the same point with clarity and consistency. We want to play fast, play physical and play smart, Buono iterated again […]

A dizzying video of a B.C. Lions star playing with his son in a local park has gained viral status on the Internet. Chris Rainey posted the adorably hilarious clip of toddler Makari’s 30-second spin on playground equipment — and his subsequent “drunken sailor” recovery walk — to Twitter on Wednesday night. It received more […]

If first-year head coach Dave Dickenson was looking to take a Master of Intimidation course, he couldn’t have picked two better profs than John Hufnagel and Wally Buono, forceful personalities he has coached with and played for in his Canadian Football League career.

Camden, N.J., is not Camelot. It has long been one of the most dangerous places in America, a once bustling industrial town that finds itself in the middle of a drug war, with high unemployment and a skyrocketing murder rate. “It’s one of the worst cities in America,” B.C. Lions rookie linebacker Dyshawn Davis says of […]

You can find advanced statistics that attest to Maxx Forde’s burgeoning promise as a football player. And the B.C. Lions are happy to provide them. Yet the preferred metric used by most football fans is draft position, starting with the obvious: First-round draft picks are supposed to be better players than seventh-rounders. To Wally Buono’s […]

For Lions hopefuls, B.C. is quarterback-development hell. Typifying a trend in recent years, once up-and-coming Greg McGhee was down-and-out after the latest round of cuts by the Canadian Football League team. From McGhee (released on Saturday) to Travis Partridge (2014), Chris Hart (2013), Jarrett Brown (2012) and Corey Leonard (2011), the Lions have had a […]
